DIY Astro Guide: What Your Horoscope Means This Week, 5/18/2015

After scoping out last night’s red carpet looks from the Billboard Music Awards and all the behind-the-scenes action, this Monday is already off to an auspicious start. With Memorial Day right around the corner, we only have to make it until Fri-yay for a weekend of celebration. All it takes is a bit of buckling down and sidestepping any potential technical snafus and you’ll have an incredible work week ahead of you. Scroll on for the best parts of your AstroStyle horoscope.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

This week marks the beginning of smarter spending habits and a long-term budgeting plan. While that might sound like a snoozefest, if you start saving now, you might have extra funds to treat yo’ self to an early vacay. Now that’s something to celebrate!

Gemini: May 21 – June 20

We know you’re feeling antsy as you get closer to your birthday, so take this week to shake off those feelings, meet new people and satisfy your desire for adventure. In the midst of all this self-exploration, make an effort to pencil in plenty of “me” time too, so you don’t stray too far from your roots.

Cancer: June 21 – July 22

When the going gets tough, keep GOING. Though this week may prove to be a stressful one, don’t let it get the best of you. Channel your inner artist with some morning sketching, write inspirational thoughts in your journal or go for that long-overdue bike ride that you’ve been putting off.

Leo: July 23 – August 22

We foresee your entrepreneurial side kicking in this week as you reunite with blasts from your past to collaborate on a joint venture. Hold off on going public with your proposals too soon though, as Mercury in retrograde could give you a rocky start.

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Don’t forget to s-l-o-w down and schedule some free time for yourself, especially with Memorial Day weekend coming up. In an effort to relax and decompress, a girls’ night out might be just what the doctor ordered.

Libra: September 23 – October 22

From your personal life to future travel plans, this week is all about making sure those tiny details are in check. Confirm reservations, start planning an itinerary and finalize any big work projects before jet setting to your dream destination.

Scorpio: October 23 – November 21

We know it’s tempting to avoid conflict, but this week will go by extra smoothly if you exercise that self-control and avoid brushing problems under the table. There’s no shame in scheduling quality one-on-one time or even chatting your problems out with someone you trust, like a friend or therapist.

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Our advice to you this week is to keep your eye on the prize. Take a break from playing hostess with the mostess, and instead focus on yourself. After the extra-long holiday weekend, you’ll feel refreshed and ready to conquer everything that comes your way.

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

We’re sensing good vibes and positive energy coming your way. Reach your inner zen by taking up morning yoga sessions and unplugging from your various devices for at least 24 hours this weekend — it might just result in that creative breakthrough you’ve been hoping for.

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

It’s time for a change, but don’t reach for the scissors just yet. Stick to curating Pinterest boards and, come mid-June, you’ll be more than ready to swap out your wardrobe of neutrals for colorful prints, and maybe even a drastic new haircut to match.

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

This Memorial Day weekend will be all about focusing on your inner circle of gal pals and reconnecting with distant relatives. Opt for intimate gatherings rather than all-out ragers to skip out on any petty drama.

Aries: March 21 – April 19

All this week, be extra careful with what you tweet or post on social. When your reputation is on the line, an accidental wrong move or joke that falls flat could unintentionally send the wrong message.
